A murder trial hears evidence about the death of Kyle Bevan, 33, who is said to have been killed in his maximum-security cell at HMP Wakefield in November. Bevan was serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 28 years at the time of his death.
According to the accounts presented to the court, Bevan was found dead in his cell after an attack. The prosecution case described a stabbing involving multiple injuries and an alleged attempt to make the aftermath appear indistinguishable from normal conditions, including placing Bevan in bed as if asleep.
The reports state that the incident occurred within a short period while Bevan was in his cell, and the trial is considering what happened leading up to his death, including the circumstances of the attack and how it was carried out.
The court is examining evidence related to the prison incident and the circumstances surrounding Bevan’s death.
